Podcasts about Mona Lisa

Is the Mona Lisa in the Louvre fake? Was impressionist painter Claude Monet a radical? And was Caravaggio—our show's muse—murdered? Art history holds as many mysteries and baffling stories as it does masterpieces, and Jennifer Dasal, museum curator and host of the wildly popular ArtCurious podcast knows all the best ones. In this week's episode from our archives, we sit down with Jennifer to chat about her book, ArtCurious: Stories of the Unexpected, Slightly Odd, and Strangely Wonderful in Art History and delve into the fascinating world of mystery and art. PS Jennifer has a new book out! Check it out here: The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

In this episode, Julia speaks with Mona about how education — formal, informal, cultural, and familial — quietly shapes the way we lead, often without us realising it.Together, they reflect on moments in their own leading where habits, preferences, and blind spots can be traced directly back to how they were educated — what was rewarded, what was discouraged, and what was never questioned. From structure and organisation to evidence, empowerment, and questioning authority, education sits deep in our Essence.The conversation explores how early learning can both strengthen and limit us. Julia and Mona talk candidly about prejudice versus judgement, the impact of failure, and the importance of learning, unlearning, and relearning as we grow. They reflect on how questioning — something encouraged in some educations and punished in others — becomes central to trust, confidence, and psychological safety in teams.Mona also shares how empathy and grace play a crucial role in leading across difference — recognising that people come with different capacities, experiences, and confidence, and that equality does not mean sameness.This episode is a reminder that leading is shaped long before our first job title — and that the work of leading well often begins with understanding, and questioning, the education that formed us.About the Guest: Mona-Lisa Danieli Mungure is an Attorney in the High Courts of Botswana and the Regional Head of a division in one of Botswana's government Ministries.

Overnight snow storm composite — my a.m. recording of the massive ⁠January 23–27 storm⁠ with some notes and late 70s radio blizzard coverage. Speaking of storms of yore, do y'all remember the email storm? They're the Mona Lisa of human/ tech pratfalls. An email storm, or replyallcalypse, is when a surge of emails is exchanged as users continually “reply all” to the original message. Modern inboxes have safeguards to prevent email storms — which is a shame, as I'm positive humans are still willing to ensnare themselves. I witnessed an impressive email storm in the mid-aughts while working for Newscorp. So, twenty years ago — second Bush administration — think Wii Bowling and High School Musical. I was at a Fox owned-and-operated station in Philadelphia… it was Newscorp (boo, amirite), but also one of the favorite places I've worked (colleagues were cool, and it was a paid TV gig in an actually awesome city, Jim's was within lunchtime walking distance). But seriously — commercial television news: don't watch it. You don't need it.Look — picture the aughts, the golden age of the mobile phone. A cellphone store felt like sticking your face into the 2005 movie Robots. Different sizes, colors, shapes, personalities. They flipped, had tactile keyboards, and looked fab in a holster. My cellphone was a Nokia N-Gage QD (so sick).I worked the morning show (4 a.m. start), graphics. So, on the Fox Email Storm morning, I wandered by Independence Hall and fragments of Benjamin Franklin's former home. I buzzed into the lobby and was immediately intercepted by a PA.“Do not respond to the email.”And I was like, “What?”“There are emails. Delete them and don't respond.”“Which email? What?”“You'll know,” she said, already rushing to the next person. “Do not respond to the email.”The IT guy caught me getting off the elevator on the second floor. “Do not reply to the email or you will be ******* fired.” And he smiled to soften the threat, but I was sure he wasn't kidding.Ooph — intrusive memory. That was the same elevator where I once felt alone enough to stop fighting a fart… and then a ringed hand reached in to stop the door from shutting. In walked the traffic reporter, dressed like an adult. And I was wearing a comic book t-shirt in a cloud of my own gas. Bluh. Never assume your elevator journey will be solitary just because you got on alone.Where was I — email storm, Fox News. So some Detroit station intern sent a very late-night email to all. Everybody got it. Brit Hume, Sheppard Smith, Hannity, Colmes, the pride of Bethlehem High School, Megyn Kelly, corporate leadership, Geraldo, me and everybody else. Not only did some intern obtain an email address that pinged company-wide, the dude emailed that address. Praising the president and scooping on some vanilla jingoism. I was like, this is the dangerous email? You're from Detroit, man — at least invoke Oliver Hazard Perry.Whatever — my inbox was flooded with assenting voices — cheering it on, remixing the messaging from Detroit. I searched through the wreckage for any specialty graphic orders and then dumped the day's emails. Went to grab some coffee.I returned to another pile with more popping in. Notification chimes, “12 new emails,” it was astounding.The messages were transitioning now to “Unsubscribe.” I heard running in the hallways. A new larger wave of emails asked to be removed from the list. People were shouting in all caps. I started to imagine these voices were yelling at me — “TAKE ME THE **** OFF THIS LIST!” Senders that brandished titles like “Head of This” and “Department Lead” in their email signatures. A new wave of earlier assenters began desperately rescinding their messages by sending even more messages. One user feebly wrote [[UNSEND]].It went on a bit longer before finally petering out — great day at work. I think I even splurged on an extra slice at Gianfranco.

This segment is titled "How to Make Spanakopita." A Love Letter to Greece's Flakiest PieClose your eyes and imagine this: you're sitting at a tiny marble table in a narrow Plaka alleyway. The sun is warming the back of your neck, a cat is napping lazily at your feet, and someone across the street is playing a bouzouki. Then, the waiter places a plate in front of you. It's golden. It's shattering into a thousand buttery leaves as you look at it. Steam rises from a blanket of spinach and feta, carrying the scent of fresh dill.That, my friends, is spanakopita. And I am about to show you how to capture that exact moment in your own kitchen.Spanakopita literally translates to "spinach pie," but that's like calling the Mona Lisa a painting of a woman. It is the iconic pie of Greece, a dish that bridges the ancient and the modern.Long before phyllo existed, the Greeks were making "pites"—rustic pies filled with wild greens foraged from the hillsides. They called these greens chorta, and they have been a staple of the Greek diet for thousands of years. It was peasant food, yes, but it was also genius: a way to take the earth's free bounty and turn it into a hearty meal.The game-changer came later, during the years of the Ottoman Empire, when the art of stretching dough until it was as thin as a "leaf" (phyllo in Greek) was perfected. When that tissue-thin dough met the ancient filling of greens and cheese, spanakopita as we know it was born. It became the food of celebration, of fasting during Lent (using olive oil instead of butter), and of every family gathering where Yiayia would roll up her sleeves and work her magic.Every Greek grandmother has a secret. Some add a splash of sparkling water to the filling to keep it light. Others swear by a tiny grating of nutmeg—just a whisper—because nutmeg has a bizarre and wonderful ability to make spinach taste more like itself . And then there is the ultimate debate: butter or olive oil for the phyllo? Butter gives you that rich, diner-diner golden crisp. Olive oil gives you a more rustic, savory, and traditional "Lenten" version.But the one rule everyone agrees on? Squeeze your spinach. If you don't wring every drop of water out of the cooked greens, you will end up with a soggy bottom, and in the world of pie, that is the only unforgivable sin. Here is a tested recipe for you to attempt in the privacy of your kitchen.Alright, enough talk. Let's cook. We are going to make a big, glorious, pan-sized spanakopita that feeds a crowd and makes you look like a hero. Don't be scared of the phyllo. It's easier to tame than you think.Part 1: The Green Gold (The Filling)We start with the heart of the dish. Grab your largest skillet and set it over medium heat. Glug in about ¼ cup of good olive oil. Toss in one large chopped onion and let it sweat until it's soft and see-through.Now, the main event. You need two pounds of fresh spinach. Wash it well—spinach is sandy, and nobody wants a gritty pie. Pile it into the pan. It will look like an impossible mountain. Don't panic. Grab your tongs and start turning it. Within minutes, that mountain will collapse into a vibrant, dark green valley of goodness.Here is where you have to be ruthless. Dump the spinach into a colander and press down with a spoon. Press hard. Let it sit and cool while you prepare the rest. The liquid you discard is the only thing standing between you and crispy phyllo glory.In a big bowl, crumble 8 ounces of feta cheese. Use the good stuff—the briny, creamy blocks from Greece. Crack 2 eggs, chop a big handful of fresh dill and parsley, and add a pinch of nutmeg (if you're feeling like a Yiayia). Now, grab that cooled spinach, squeeze it again (yes, again), roughly chop it, and throw it into the bowl. Mix it all up. Taste it. Add a crack of black pepper, but be careful with salt—feta is salty enough.Read full recipe More PodcastsFK Newsletter SimVal Media, USA

Genre: Drama: In dieser Episode besprechen wir "Mona Lisas Lächeln" aus dem Jahr 2003 und warum der Film für Vicky zu den absoluten Lieblingsfilmen gehört. Wir tauschen uns darüber aus, was ihn so besonders macht. Außerdem schauen wir auf Julia Roberts und fragen uns, ob sich ihre Rolle wie ein typischer Roberts-Film ist und ob es ein typischer 90er Jahre-Film ist, obwohl der in den 2000ern erschienen ist. Wir sprechen über den beeindruckenden Cast, die Harmonie zwischen den Figuren und ob die knapp zwei Stunden Laufzeit ausreichen, um ihnen genug Tiefe zu geben. Und natürlich diskutieren wir, ob der Film nach über 20 Jahren gut gealtert ist. Viel Spaß bei dieser Episode! --------------------------------------Ihr habt Filmtipps für uns?

Varga Viktor – Szabadság vagy beilleszkedés?  ep. 301   MÓKA Podcast – Magyarok Óriási Kalandjai Amerikában   Mi történik akkor, amikor valaki nem akar beilleszkedni, és ezt nem magyarázza, hanem végigéli?   Ebben az epizódban Varga Viktor őszintén mesél gyerekkori kirekesztésről, az önkifejezés áráról, extrém utazásokról, a művészet határairól, a Sztárbox megnyerésének belső tanulságairól, valamint arról a Mona Lisához köthető performanszról, amely sokaknál kérdéseket vetett fel.   Ez nem bulvárinterjú. Ez egy hosszú, gondolkodós beszélgetés identitásról, szabadságról és következményekről.    Témák, amelyek szóba kerülnek az epizódban  • Gyerekkori bántalmazás, kirekesztés és az önvédelem megtanulása  • Miért érezte magát mindig „kilógónak", és hogyan lett ebből erő  • A Csillag születik utáni időszak belső dilemmái  • Miért nem a közönség visszajelzéseiből merít energiát  • Egy amerikai roadtrip története és egy félreértés az amerikai hatóságokkal  • Extrém utazások Peruban, Ázsiában és a természethez való visszatérés  • Spirituális élmények saját tapasztalatokon keresztül, magyarázat nélkül  • Miért él jurtában, és mit ad neki az egyszerű, természetközeli élet  • A Mona Lisa-videó valódi háttere, mint művészi gesztus  • Sztárbox. Felkészülés, fegyelem, mentális határok és győzelem  • Mit tanított neki a Sztárbox megnyerése, és mit vitt tovább az életébe    Sztárbox – nem csak fizikai kihívás   A beszélgetésben Viktor részletesen mesél arról, hogyan készült fel a Sztárboxra, mit jelentett számára megnyerni egy olyan küzdelmet, amely nem a saját komfortzónájából indult, és milyen belső változásokat indított el benne a ring tapasztalata.    Mona Lisa és a művészet határai   Szóba kerül az a Louvre-ban készült videó is, amely sokaknál megosztó volt.   Viktor elmondja:  • mi történt pontosan  • mi volt az üzenet  • hol húzza meg a határt provokáció és tisztelet között  • és mit gondol a művészet szerepéről a mai figyelemvezérelt világban    Ez az epizód azoknak szól, akik:  • szeretik a mély, nem sablonos beszélgetéseket  • kíváncsiak arra, mi van a nyilvános szerep mögött  • nem kész válaszokat, hanem gondolatokat keresnek

Seven minutes, a freight elevator, and an angle grinder, that's all a small team of robbers needed to steal jewelry from the Louvre's Apollo Gallery on October 19, 2025. And this isn't unprecedented: in 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by a museum employee and only resurfaced two years later. Faced with that kind of risk, some museums now quietly display reproductions instead of originals. Is this common? When are copies used? But can copies deceive? Do we feel the same emotion facing a copy? So, should museums swap originals for copies? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

El museo Jeu de Paume de París presenta a partir de este viernes una exposición dedicada al fotógrafo Martin Parr. La muestra reúne casi 200 imágenes coloridas que cuentan lo absurdo de nuestras sociedades modernas, pero con mucho humor. El cambio climático, el turismo de masas o el consumismo a ultranza... esos problemas de hoy fueron explorados desde los años 60 y 70 por Martin Parr. El fotógrafo británico, es el protagonista de la nueva exposición en el museo Jeu de Paume de París, que ha reunido unas 180 imágenes de Parr tomadas en el mundo entero. "Alerta global" (Global Warning) es el título de esta muestra dividida en cinco partes, pero con un hilo conductor. “Si tuviéramos que resumir su trabajo podríamos decir que el consumismo es un tema presente en toda su obra. El turismo masivo, que exploró en sus fotos, es otra forma de consumo a ultranza en los países del primer mundo. Parr puso su objetivo no solo en los turistas americanos o europeos, sino en cómo China o Rusia se unieron a la economía de mercado a partir de los 80. Nuestras sociedades de consumo fueron un tema esencial, no solo porque se dedicó a fotografiarlas sino porque fue el primer en poner el foco en esas temáticas”, declaró el comisario de la muestra Quentin Bajac. El impertinente Martin Parr revolucionó la fotografía documental con imágenes surrealistas: personas achicharrándose en una playa, hordas de celulares delante de la Mona Lisa, un cochecito en un casino… los colores chillones y saturados formaban parte de su estética, así como el humor. “El humor era su forma de captar la atención del espectador en una fracción de segundo. Era su manera de seducir para luego tratar de transmitir no un mensaje sino un contenido diferente. La ironía formaba parte de la personalidad de Parr. Pero si observamos bien, a veces es un humor discreto, otras veces cruel o feroz… En todo caso, la mayoría de sus imágenes tienen una dosis de humor, asociada a su visión crítica del mundo”, agregó Bajac. La exposición presenta muchas imágenes tomadas en playas, en distintos puntos del planeta. Según Bajac, a Parr le encantaban las playas, lugares donde la gente está relajada, lo que es propicio para la fotografía. “A partir de los años 2000, Parr comenzó a fotografiar las multitudes. Es el caso de la foto en Mar del Plata, donde utilizó un teleobjetivo que aplasta completamente la perspectiva. Parece un collage, pero no, son cientos de personas amontonadas, rodeadas de logos de marcas. Es una imagen que contradice la visión idílica del turismo y de la playa como lugar de escape o de comunión con la naturaleza”, dijo el especialista. “Global warning” en el Jeu de Paume de París es de las últimas exposiciones concebidas en colaboración con Martin Parr, quien falleció en diciembre de 2025.

Join us for a tour of the first of the capital's 20 arrondissements.

En este episodio de Historia para tontos hablamos de Leonardo da Vinci, el arquetipo del genio renacentista: pintor, inventor, científico, anatomista, ingeniero y básicamente alguien que nunca supo quedarse en un solo carril. Exploramos por qué la Mona Lisa sigue obsesionando al mundo, qué tan adelantadas estaban sus ideas (spoiler: siglos), y cómo su curiosidad infinita lo convirtió en una de las mentes más importantes de la historia… aunque dejó más proyectos incompletos que trabajos terminados. Un capítulo para entender por qué Leonardo no fue solo un artista, sino una forma distinta de pensar. nos arrancamos los pelos por el panorama politico actual y trataremos de explicarles lo que pensamos sin perder la cordura Dale laik, suscribete y picale a la campanita para poder ver todos nuestros episodios, andaleeeeee. ✨️

Beck Rivera makes folded book art, folding paper in such a precise way that an image emerges from within a book's pages. Each book is hand made and completely unique.He's created books that showcase images such as the Mona Lisa, William Shakespeare, a night sky over mountains, a bee, a whale, a tennis racquet and ball, chess pieces, a sailboat, and more. He also makes custom designs, patterns, tutorials and does demonstrations related to the art. On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Beck about what intrigued him about the world of book folding, the balance of technical and creative skills he uses, and how he develops the design for each folded book he makes.  Say hi to Beck:  Website: becksbooks.co  Instagram - @becks.books  TikTok - @becksbooks----Creative Pulse Podcast socials:  Instagram: @creativepulsepodcastMusic credit: https://www.purple-planet.com

After two years in the wilderness, we return to your ears with episode 48 and a brilliant film - Mona Lisa (1986).Directed by Neil Jordan and written by David Leland, it's a noir thriller with a fantastical edge - or perhaps a fantasy cloaked in noir - about humans finding connection in a grim world.Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson, Michael Caine and Robbie Coltrane all turn in beautiful performances and we catch a glimpse of the real Soho as it was before gentrification began.Soho based film producer, Colin Vaines, returns to the show to talk about Mona Lisa.Our guest for the thematically linked supporting feature© is Professor Oliver Carter of Birmingham City University. Oliver has been running a research project called Under the Counter looking at the history of the British pornography industry for several years and he shares some of the nuggets of his extensive research.Mona Lisa is available to stream on various platforms but if you're a physical media person and if you prefer to not give money to Jeff Bezos when you can help it, you can buy it from Arrow Films.The famous scene in which Bob Hoskins walks around Soho is, perplexingly, accompanied by In Too Deep by Genesis.We try not to promote Xwitter these days so follow Colin on Facebook.Oliver has various links - his website, the Under the Counter website from where you can buy his book and the Under the Counter archive at the Bishopsgate Institute (slightly NSFW).Check out Mona Lisa's then & now locations thanks to our friends at Reelstreets.Thank you to the Museum of Soho for allowing us to record in their gallery at All is Joy, 75 Dean Street, Soho.Thank you for listening.Follow us on

350 jaar geleden werd schilder Johannes Vermeer begraven. Wat weet jij over hem?Je zou haar misschien de Mona Lisa van het Rijksmuseum kunnen noemen: de naamloze dienstbode die langzaam melk uit haar kan schenkt, op het beroemde 17de-eeuwse schilderij van Johannes Vermeer. Sinds jaar en dag staat ze bekend als 'Het melkmeisje'. Over deze absolute favoriet praat Jörgen Raymann met directeur van het Rijksmuseum, Taco Dibbits.

It's the portrait of Gina Rinehart that launched 1,000 memes, went viral globally and became Australia's Mona Lisa. But it's also a symbol of how wealth intersects with other areas of life, including art and sport. How does Rinehart use her money to control her image – and what would she rather you don't see? This episode of Gina is about power and control, and the colonial history of Australia. It contains references to outdated offensive language and events that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find distressing. It also contains the names of Indigenous Australians who have died. Listen with care

Tycoons are devoted to relentless optimization. If they are founders of a hotel chain, they just might delay the opening of a new property for two months if the marble they ordered for the restaurant is not the precise color. If they are a tech company founder, they'll insist on getting the product to Mona-Lisa-level exquisiteness before it's released (Steve Jobs wanted the icons on the iPhone to be so magical users would want to lick them). If they are entertainment titans they'll be relentless in making sure that their film or album is astonishingly well made, no matter how much they have to suffer to get the job done at rare-air standards.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

Martin Scorsese gets the gang back together for another mafia classic CASINO, which we argue represents the back end of the primes for Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A great movie that unfairly gets compared to his Mona Lisa, Goodfellas, but deserves its own place in movie history.

The Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan (“The Crying Game”, “Interview with The Vampire”) is also an author of several novels. Jordan has recently released an autobiographical work called “Amnesiac: A Memoir” (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2024) which is currently available where books are sold. In this vivid, moving and strange memoir, Neil Jordan – the author of classic fiction like “The Past”, “Sunrise with Sea Monster” and “Night in Tunisia”, and the creator of celebrated movies like “Angel,” “Mona Lisa,” “The Crying Game” and “Interview with the Vampire” – reaches deep into his own past and that of his family. His mother was a painter, his father an inspector of schools who was visited by ghosts, and Jordan grew up on the edge of an abandoned aristocratic estate in north Dublin whose mysterious ruins fed his imagination. Passionate about music, he played in bands and theatre groups and met, at University College Dublin, a young radical called Jim Sheridan. Together they staged unforgettable dramatic productions that hinted at their future careers. His first collection of stories and first novel, “Night in Tunisia” and “The Past”, were met with acclaim, but Jordan was also drawn to the freedom and visual richness of film, and worked with the great English director John Boorman on his Arthurian epic “Excalibur”. His own first movie with Stephen Rea, “Angel”, was a brilliant angular take on the horrific violence of the Troubles, and in the years since then his films have combined in a unique way, intense supernatural elements with reflections on violence and sexuality. Jordan describes his work with Stephen Rea, Jaye Davidson, Bob Hoskins, Tom Cruise and many others, but this is not a conventional story of life in the movies. The book is an eerie meditation on loss, love and creativity, on inspiration and influence, by one of the most unusual artists Ireland has produced.

A peer-reviewed paper claims a glowing, seated-Buddha fractal generated from the Mandelbrot set is hidden in the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Tutankhamun's mask, and masterpieces across cultures—proof of simulation, aliens, or the collective unconscious. Greg explains what fractals and the Buddhabrot actually are, shows why the overlays are genuinely uncanny, and then pivots to the far more astonishing Catholic truth: beauty is a transcendental property of being itself. From Plato to Aquinas to the Catechism, the Church has always taught that creation is stamped with the splendor of its rational Creator—and that the ache we feel in front of great art is homesickness for Him.

We meet curator Kate Bryan and artist David Shrigley to explore their new book How To Art. Recorded live in London, in front of a sold out audience.What is art, where do I find it, and once I'm in front of it, what am I supposed to think about it? Kate Bryan is a self-confessed art addict who has worked with art for over twenty years. But before she studied art history at university, she'd visited a gallery just twice in her life and had no idea she was entering an elitist world. Now, she's on a mission to help everybody come to art.Like playing or listening to music, or cooking and eating great food, reading or watching films, making art or looking at other people's deserves to be an enriching part of all our lives. How to Art provides a nifty way to ingest art on your own terms. From where it is to what it is, to tips on how to actually enjoy famous artworks like the Mona Lisa, to how to own art and make art at home, to vital advice for making a career as an artist and even how to make your dog more cultural, How to Art gives art to everyone—and makes it fun. Laced throughout with original artworks by the very down-to-earth artist David Shrigley.Follow @KateBryan_Art and @DavidShrigley Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Il y a quelques semaines, un vol spectaculaire de bijoux a eu lieu au Musée du Louvre à Paris. Mais ce n'est pas la première fois. Mona Lisa (aka la Joconde) avait aussi été volée, et l'histoire est rocambolesque...Bonne écoute ! Marion@madameapanameProgramme en pré-vente "365 expressions françaises indispensables" : https://french.madameapaname.com/course/expressions-francaisesCet épisode a été diffusé pour la première fois en 2023 (saison 6, épisode 4).

Today, December 2nd, is Giving Tuesday. Darren gives an overview of the concept of Effective Giving, with some tips on how your charitable donations could will lead to the most good in line with your own priorities. Adam tackles a few claims about the Mona Lisa, inspired by not all that evidence based viral clips. What were the original colours of this painting, and did it only become popular after being stolen years ago?

You've been hearing a lot about the Louvre lately. Last month, thieves broke into the Paris Museum in broad daylight when the museum had just opened and made off with eight pieces of royal jewelry. The spectacular heist captured the world news cycle and the imagination of the internet. But why are people so obsessed with the Louvre in general? What is it about this museum in particular? We decided to re-air a recent episode where we look at the enigmatic institution and dive into the many secrets and stories that it holds. The Louvre is among the largest, most-visited, and best-known museums in the world, and for nearly too many reasons to count. It's home to some of the most celebrated works of art, from the Venus de Milo to the Mona Lisa. Its blended contemporary and historic architecture is astounding. And it also has a truly formidable past, stretching back through time, well before the building became a museum in 1793. An institution and collection that has been a quiet witness to so much history and change is bound to have stories to tell. Elaine Sciolino, contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times, has captured many of these stories in her newest book, Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum, which came out in April with Norton & Company. Sciolino is acclaimed for her chronicles of French history, and she's the author of the New York Times bestseller The Only Street in Paris, The Seine, and La Seduction. And at the Louvre, she spoke to everyone, from the guards to the lead curators, and received unprecedented access to rooms I didn't even know existed. Senior editor Kate Brown caught up with Elaine, who is based in Paris, to discuss the enigmatic and ever-enchanting Louvre, and what she learned from her exploration of its many halls, backrooms, and basements.

There is no better way to explore the art and politics of the Sforza court in Milan than through the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo spent most of his early career employed by Ludovico il Moro, the regent and eventual Duke of Milan. This episode ties together the drama and intrigue of Sforza court politics with the work Leonardo did during his First Milanese Period (1482-1499). Some of Leonardo's most innovative painting arrived in this period. Beyond his Last Supper, the Renaissance master also worked on court portraits. Looking at both Lady with an Ermine and La Belle Ferronniere, we unpack the history of the ladies of the Sforza court and the complex social structures in Leonardo's Milan. Additionally, we explore the sophistication of Leonardo's style and ingenuity, especially as precursors to his Mona Lisa. This conversation ultimately ties the complicated threads that unite art, court culture, politics, gender, and romance in Renaissance Milan. Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Leonardo da Vinci, Genevra de' Benci, ca. 1478 https://www.nga.gov/artworks/50724-ginevra-de-benci-obverseLeonardo da Vinci, Lady with an Ermine, ca. 1490 https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/lady-with-an-ermine-leonardo-da-vinci/HwHUpggDy_HxNQ?hl=en-GBLeonardo da Vinci and workshop, La Belle Ferronniere, ca. 1497 https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062372Salai, Head of Christ the Redeemer, 1511 https://ambrosiana.it/opere/testa-di-cristo-redentore/Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

“Have you ever wondered why some drivers treat the freeway entrance ramp like a Sunday stroll instead of the fast lane it's meant to be?” That's just one of the everyday mysteries JB and Sandy tackle in this lively episode, where relatable frustrations and laugh-out-loud moments collide. From the hilarious viral Instagram clip about “zoom-zoom” merging to personal stories of Texas turnarounds and the infamous frontage road, JB and Sandy—joined by the ever-insightful Tricia—dive into the quirks of driving culture that unite (and sometimes divide) us all. You'll hear about Sandy's sister's “frontage road” confusion, Landry's quick-witted take on Austin construction (“That's really nice of the city to build the homeless a patio”), and the universal agony of the opportunist who tries to cut the merge line. But the conversation doesn't stop at traffic.The crew shifts gears to college sports, where Tricia breaks down the dramatic drop in Arch Manning's NIL valuation—from a staggering $6.8 million to $3.6 million in just a few games. Is the pressure of fame and fortune too much for student athletes? Should NIL payouts be structured like pensions? The hosts debate, sharing personal anecdotes and sharp insights, including the memorable line: “If his last name was Wotowski, he'd never have started there.” You'll also get a dose of holiday humor as JB and Sandy riff on fake Christmas trees, Costco's infamous return policy, and the art of sneaking a framed photo into a friend's house for years without them noticing. The episode wraps with a playful look at the Louvre's latest security blunder—someone hung a Lego-framed painting in the same room as the Mona Lisa! Notable Quotes & Moments:“Go zoom zoom so we can all go zoom zoom.”“That's really nice of the city to build the homeless a patio.”“If his last name was Wotowski, he'd never have started there.”“Sometimes the best art looks like a small child did it.”“If joy has been had around this tree, you have to keep it. You cannot return it.”Call to Action Loved this episode? Don't miss out—subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave us a review, and share your favorite moments with friends!
